  • With our minimalist Minnow Driver Kit applied to a minimalist device, we separate pretty much everything from pretty much everything else.

  • Both the display and crank stay comfortably ensconced in the forward housing, along with some button covers.

  • Everything else just flips out, provided you're deft with a spudger and can persuade a few small ribbon cables to stand aside.

  • And here we get an early look at how the crank works. No gears! No funny business! Just a nice simple Hall-effect sensor and a ... thing ... enshrouded in white plastic. Important? We'll see.
